After All - Dar Williams[00:00:00]

Written by：Dar Williams[00:00:02]

Go ahead push your luck[00:00:06]

Find out how much love the world can hold[00:00:08]

Once upon a time I had control[00:00:14]

And reined my soul in tight[00:00:18]

Well the whole truth[00:00:25]

Is like the story of a wave unfurled[00:00:28]

But I held the evil of the world[00:00:34]

So I stopped the tide[00:00:38]

Froze it up from inside[00:00:41]

And it felt like[00:00:43]

A winter machine[00:00:46]

That you go through and then[00:00:49]

You catch your breath and winter starts again[00:00:53]

And everyone else is spring bound[00:00:57]

And when I chose to live[00:01:03]

There was no joy it's just a line I crossed[00:01:07]

It wasn't worth the pain my death would cost[00:01:13]

So I was not lost[00:01:17]

Or found[00:01:20]

And if I was to sleep[00:01:24]

I knew my family had more truth to tell[00:01:28]

And so I traveled down a whispering well[00:01:33]

To know myself through them[00:01:37]

Growing up my mom had a room full of books[00:01:44]

And hid away in there[00:01:49]

Her father raging down a spiral stair[00:01:53]

Till he found someone[00:01:57]

Most days his son[00:01:59]

And sometimes I think[00:02:02]

My father too was a refugee[00:02:06]

I know they tried to keep their pain from me[00:02:12]

They could not see what it was for[00:02:16]

But now I'm sleeping fine[00:02:23]

Sometimes the truth is like a second chance[00:02:26]

I am the daughter of a great romance[00:02:32]

And they are the children of the war[00:02:37]

Well the sun rose with so many colors[00:03:09]

It nearly broke my heart[00:03:14]

And worked me over like a work of art[00:03:18]

And I was a part of all that[00:03:21]

So go ahead push your luck[00:03:28]

Say what it is you've got to say to me[00:03:32]

We will push on into that mystery[00:03:37]

And it'll push right back[00:03:41]

And there are worse things than that[00:03:44]

'Cause for every price[00:03:47]

And every penance that I could think of[00:03:51]

It's better to have fallen in love[00:03:56]

Than never to have fallen at all[00:04:01]

'Cause when you live in a world[00:04:07]

Well it gets in to who you thought you'd be[00:04:11]

And now I laugh at how the world changed me[00:04:16]

I think life chose me after all[00:04:20]
